so my only new years resolution is fandom related: stop being so damn shy about friending people i like. i friend mainly by reading their fic, but i'm easily awed into thinking this person is amazing, way too cool for me. while i know writing is only a bit of the importance of flist, the thing is if you're posting a pot smoking incest, or a kinky weasley related pwp, i know we're on the same page.

so half the time i read something and i want to friend because i want to know more about them, but i'm totally shy. sometimes i get all creepy and stalk their journal without commenting (for an example, i've had martha's_library friended for like 6 months, and every now and then i go and look at her personal journal, but i'm too in awe of her writing to suggest i'm good enough to friend her).

so, tonight i'm going to friend at least twenty people, and hope to gain new friends in the new year. *puts on resolve!face*

oh, and on an entirely different note, today at work was awesome. we've had really low turnout the last two weeks, and yesterday we had like 12 kids (of the normal 32), and neither of the administrators bothered to come. the appointed other person in charge decided most of the people didn't have to come in. i only had to work 2-6. that's not the best part.

when i got there, there were only eight kids. brother and sister set a, brother sister sister set b, and three miscellanious children. there were five staff (mind you two were special needs staff, but we only had one special needs child, so i'm counting them). essentially we got to play one on one, instead of patrolling for issues. that's not the best part either.

i was assigned to the gym, where like 5 of the 8 kids decided to play. one girl was really missing her mom, and i know she loves songs, so i started singing and got out the instruments. she joined in and stopped crying. that's still not the best part.

the best part... when i started taking requests (spiderman and batman and jingle bells) and asking them to sing their own songs (batman, abc's) riley burst in with WE WILL ROCK YOU!

now, obviously i can't show favourites. but riley has always been a favourite of mine, and seriously, you're three and you're into Queen? SO MUCH LOVE FOR THAT BOY. i was so impressed i started to sing the other lyrics, and he came over and grabbed the wooden guitar and pretended to play and OMG I LOVE MY JOB SOMETIMES.
